A Case Study on Problems of Missing Children

Abstract

"Children are the future of the country". They need to be helped to help themselves and to be helped to do it alone, which will give them a good satisfied and improved life. In these days children's upbringing pattern is changing due to the impact of the modernization and urbanization. Due to these changes children's education pattern, playing, communicating with others, and use of different media have increased. Children are attracted to momentary pleasures and are prone to child trafficking or kidnapping. We usually see some children who are wandering in and around railway stations, bus stands or work in difficult situation or in beggary. Some children may run away from home or by hostel due to the fear of future and other familial problems. This paper is a study on problems of missing children. Qualitative methodology with case study approach is used for this empirical paper. Three case studies were taken of those children who had run away from home due to the family problem. They are rescued and sent them to a child rehabilitation centre. Our intension is that to give a real insight on missing children's problem for the people to help in intervening these missing children's problem.
